The Museum of Art + Light’s mission is to bridge 21st century technology with the visual and performing arts to:

Incite positive emotion,

Cultivate meaningful connections,

 Encourage artistic exploration, and

Spark innovation.

“We have been collecting major works of art for over four decades. Yet the truth is, one never feels they truly own great art. One is only a caretaker of it for a brief period. We believe art is meant to be shared. We had the idea to create an art museum for a long time. But we also knew that simply building a traditional art museum would not make the impact we wanted on the 21st century visitor—people who communicate, get their news, learn, and play on a plethora of technology devices, the museum had to be much more. It had to be a place where people from all walks of life, were totally immersed in an electrifying experience that was so captivating, it would cause them to want to engage in the artistic process, explore the meaning behind real works of art, and as a result expand their horizons, promising to elevate their quality of life. Developing the first contemporary art museum to blend immersive, digital, and physical artistic experiences under one roof from inception, we believe, will lead to cultural transformations yet unseen.”— Tracey H., & Robert L. DeBruyn & Ronald Bowman & Stanley E. Zukowfsky
